Event description
UWA is at the forefront of innovative research that will help us live longer, more fulfilling lives.
To launch Research Week 2015, join us for an insightful discussion and Q&A with experts who explore the bounds and implications of increasing longevity.
- What can we do to ensure quality of life as we age?
- Can we afford to live longer?
- How are we tackling our most common killers and causes of disability?
- What will our homes and communities look like when living to over 100 is the norm?
A panel discussion will be followed by refreshments and the chance to carry on the conversation with experts and fellow alumni.
